According to data available at
https://bitnodes.io/ there are 54 Bitcoin reachable nodes in China. That means despite all pressure Chinese government still not able to ban bitcoin.
Bitcoin decentralization is ensured by thousands of nodes distributed worldwide and they only way bitcoin can be controlled is to take control of all these nodes, something technically not possible. Moreover, Bitcoin network will continue to operate as long as there is one node willing to run the bitcoin blockchain.
It's amazing how Bitcoin keeps "chugging along" even with government restrictions in place. The fact that there are 54 nodes in China even when the government officially "banned" it, tells us that Bitcoin is truly unstoppable. Who can stop someone from secretly running a BTC node, anyways? I'd imagine Bitcoin having its own nodes across space (The Moon, maybe?) sometime in the future. The number of people adopting BTC as an alternative to Fiat currencies seems to be growing each day, so don't count on its disappearance anytime soon. Governments will have no choice but to join the revolution or get left behind in the dust.
Let's hope Bitcoin becomes Fiat's sucessor in the future, as people lose trust in banks. If that happens, early adopters like you and me would instantly become filthy rich. All that matters is that Bitcoin stays decentralized and censorship-resistant. As long as it remains as is, it will last a lifetime. Just my thoughts
